Eco Monsters and Broken Things

A quick friend of the show post today with a current events theme. An old friend from Albuquerque, Christina from elephant, has a nifty new project she is doing with her sons that you should check out and support. It is called Eco Monsters, an attempt to turn our collective fears about how we are transforming our world into positive energy through art. It lets you participate by contributing either art or money. Christina has personal connections to Japan and promises that she and her sons will "find a creative way for this art project to benefit the victims of the earthquake and tsunami." More information is availablethrough the project's kickstarter site (watch the video at kickstarter to get the full context).

This blog mainly shares music that I have been directly involved in creating over the last 3 decades. I will endeavor to be diligent in giving credit to my collaborators. If you played on one of these tracks and haven't heard from me...drop me a line in the comments and let me know how you are doing.

Most of the works posted here will be under a creative commons license. Feel free to distribute them FOR FREE (re-post on your blog, embed the IA player, upload to a different server, or whatever). I would, of course, appreciate a link back here.

If you are interested in a commercial use/re-issue of any of the works presented here, leave me a note in the comments and we will work something out.

Friends-of-the-show posts are works by my talented friends (& family) that have given me permission to promote their efforts. From time to time I'll also drop suggestions for other DIY musicians I run across that I think you'd enjoy.aboombong on facebook

Thoughts give birth to a creative force that is neither elemental nor sidereal. Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow. When a man undertakes to create something, he establishes a new heaven, as it were and from it the work that he desires to create flows into him. For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth - Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus(1493 - 1541)
